This is huge, because classed monsters didn't have the built-in bonuses from magic items. So absent good guidelines for changing saves, AC, etc., you were left with a dilemma: give out too much treasure, or have easily killable opponents. Since I ran a campaign with primarily classed...

I wonder how many of these would be selling at all if it wasn't for the errata.

I will have just moved to the area, and plan to be there. Hopefully to meet a gaming group...

Thanks! I just don't want my absences to be disruptive. If you'd like to email me the details for Thunderspire to see if it would be workable, my address is austrianadam at gmail.

I'd like to play Thunderspire, and the story hour looks very cool, but as I said weekends are very bad. I can think of 6 that I'll be unavailable at least one day between now and the end of May.

I think 1 skill + Howling Strike 1/encounter would work quite well.

Even though reskinning is easy, I would pay money for a book that was nothing but human opponents, with notes on how to convert their abilities slightly to make them any other race. It could cover different cultures and all the different roles across all three tiers.

My vote for lamest monster is the Swordwing. Epic level bug that flies and hits you hard. Consider me uninspired.

I'll be moving to Durham, NC before the end of the month. I will be around for at least 6 months, though possibly for an extra year after that (doing a post-doc at Duke). I strongly prefer weekdays, as I am gone many weekends. My system preference is for 4e, though really I'd be open to...

It doesn't make a huge difference to this conversation, but economists widely agree that the CPI (which is what the calculations above are based on) overstates inflation. It hangs around for political reasons and because it can be calculated much sooner after the fact than alternative measures...

Don't forget that enemies can flee and surrender when appropriate. Having players who will use the Intimidate rules in a non-abusive and story-advancing way goes a long way here.

I'm getting my brother's new girlfriend Fluxx.

I really like the flavor in Complete Paladin. Complete Necromancer is also good. The elf and priest splatbooks should be avoided. I remember them being particularly bad.

I got my copy yesterday. I haven't had a chance to look through it more that cursorily, but I am pleased with the scope of the material. I also wondered about the monk's enhancement bonuses. One question I haven't seen asked: what happened to the Spellbinder's level 1 daily's?

Eilistrae is annoying. Drizz't was compelling as an exception. Those are stock answers. But let's be honest: there's an inherent tendency for any shared-world popular villain to become good. You can count the number of hugely popular comic book villains that have stayed evil for long periods...

Which program are you using to open them? When I use Preview (I'm on Mac, obviously) to open Grandpa's cards they're giberish, but they work fine in Acrobat. Likewise for the ones I made.

Some Grandpa-style non-power cards for effects that might be hard to keep track of.

I took Grandpa's awesome templates and made cards of the Illusion spells from Dragon 364. I did them in Keynote, so they might not look exactly the same, but it had an easier time understanding the files than powerpoint (go fig). Grandpa: if you want to put these in your post with all the...

Grandpa, your cards are completely baller. I do, however, have one request: could you do a second wind card? Its not technically a power, but as a per-encounter resource it would be nice to be able to tap it and have a reminder of the defense bonus. A minor action version for dwarves would also...

Could they simply not be GSL? Like an old Judges Guild product? Just not referencing stats and no logo?
